Package: debian-installer
Version: 20171204
Severity: grave
Steps to reproduce:
1. Download mini.iso from
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/buster/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/mini.iso
2. Launch Oracle VM VirtualBox (in my case 5.1.34 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS host
system)
3. Create new virtual machine with mini.iso as boot CD/DVD and clean
virtual SATA harddisk.
4. Boot virtual machine from mini.iso
* select Install
* choose language
* wait for network configuration, set hostname, set ftp.us.debian.org mirror
Then the following dialog appears:
"[!!] Download installer components
No kernel modules were found. This probably is due to a mismatch between
the kernel used by this version of the Installer and the kernel version
available in the archive.
If you 're Installing from a mirror, you can work around this problem by
choosing to Install a different version of Debian. The Install will
probably fail to work if you continue without kernel modules.
Continue the Install without loading kernel modules?
"
I selected , it downloads files, asked for root password twice, asked
for normal user name and password, set clock and timezone and then
installer asks for disk drive controller (all options fails) so I select
*continue with no disk drive* or *none of the above* and installer fails
with red screen.
"[!] Detect disks
No partitionable media
No partitionable media were found.
Please check that a hard disk is attached to this machine.
"
Is it normal behavior?
Why I can't install Debian buster from mini.iso?
As far I can remember I can install development version of Ubuntu in such
way.
Note: I can't install from kvm too:
$ kvm -m 1024 -vga std -drive file=debian10.raw,format=raw -cdrom mini.iso
-boot d
